I cant believe noone else has replied to this
Im too noob to actually do it yet but good man for sharing the info. When I get a bit more used to linux Ill be following you example I think. How does it play by the way? Any lag? Are the famerates decent?

I'm thinking of doing that soon...once I get my audio working in winamp under wine

Thanks for the link!

just curious, why do you need to run winamp in lunx? There are many programs just like winamp and run natively on linux.

 

[whooping_a_panda]

yea, xmms is nearly identical to winamp 2.x

 

[mrnuke]

that had to suck, but if you wanted to play on linux...........

I'm using WineX 3.1 and I get a "wine: unhandled exception" when trying to run the ie6setup.exe.... grrr.... dcom98 installed just fine. Any bright ideas?

OK, so now I installed wine from the portage tree and got through most all of that document on setting up steam. It can't login now though, says it has problems connecting to the steam network, so I killed it. Now when I run it again I can't type anything in to the steam window, I just get typing in the console. What's goin' on here? Is there a specail way to launch steam other than wine STEAM.exe?
